Hi! ! We had exactly the same situation. We were only looking at patio villas and courtyard villas because we felt that it provided plenty of room. Our realtor also encouraged us to consider a ranch and we’re glad we did. The ranch was only a little more expensive than the villas we looked at and It allowed us to get a 2 car garage. When we were snowbirds, we didn’t really need the garage space but once we moved here full-time we found that we needed that storage space as we were used to a house with a basement. We also have a third bedroom that we love when the kids visit but many people use as a den or office. I would encourage you to at least look at some ranches before you make your decision and consider everything that you’ll want to have space for such as holiday decorations and bicycles. Also, if you have a larger car like we do, the two car garage allows room to get in and outmoded easily. Best of luck in your search!
